But it needs program headers, right? Very new versions of the binutils
don't add the program headers to the debug info file any more
(currently only in binutils CVS), so we need gnu_debuglink support
anyway. Of course my patch cannot handle this yet. I'll test this
after we have the binutils version in our distribution which will be
very soon ;-(.
Thanks,
Bernhard
